B1NH TRUCKERS At LARGE.

In sending Fish and Ward TO the penitcntiary
something was done in this city toward putting
stop to tho work Of wrccking banks. II
like zeal is shown by law officers elsewhere In
furnishing men guilty of such frauds, bank
failure will become a rare occurrcncc-at least
failure that sweeps away all OF the dcpositors
money and leaves them nothing. Two such
failures have taken place in Dansvlc in
comparatively short time. About 100000 CT
deposits belonging to the people OF that town
have mysteriously disappeared in these failures.
No explanations have been offered as to what
became Of this money, and so far no person
is in prison as a result Of those transactions.
In the case of the first failure indictments were
found, but only one has been prosecuted, and
that has not reached final decision.
The recent failure is admitted to be the re-
suit Of rogucry. The Government examina-
tions mised the public. The sworn statements
were glarngly false. The president Of the
bank fled to Canada, and now the other officials
are seeking to excuse themselves by placing
the entire blame on the fugitive officer. The
public will watch the success of this experiment
with interest. If bank directors, whose names
are signed to published statements and attcstcd
by notary public. can escape responsibility
by swearing that they did not own any stock in
the bank, and that their names were signed
by somebody else, then the way to bank wreck
ing will be made more easy in the future.
That is the excuse that General Lester b.
Faulkner and his nephew arc making in the
case of the DansviIe Bank. Notwithstanding
that they were directors in the bank for many
years, and their names regularly appeared on
the published statements, they now seek TO
evade responsibility by this fiimsy prctcxt.
In this city We do not think such plea would
avail much. 1t is doubtful II District Attorney
Lockwood, of Buffalo, will be much impressed
with it, whatever his sympathy may be with
feow-Democrat in distress. But il 1t sue
ceeds. forgery is an extradltable offence, and
prompt measures should be taken to bring back
from Canada the fugitive president The hard
ships inflicted on the people Of Dansville by
this scandalous failure CO | for swift punish
ment on tho offenders. little more energy
on the part Of the prosecuting officers Is badly
needed.

THE INSIDE COURSE.

There was no yacht race yesterday, and we
hope there will be none until the weather con-
ditions are such as will insure complete test
Of the two champions in good gale. This is
too important an event to have its issue at all
doubtful. Our friends across the water have
stakcd their all on the Thistle. They conccde
her to be by far the best boat they have.
The first contest, though fair enough. was I'M
satisfactory. The Volunteer, whether she be
q better boat or not, was unquestionably
favored by wind and tide. 1t may be true that
this was the fault of the Thistle's captain-that
il was due to his lack Of skill or information
but the fact remains that the Thistle oppor-
tunity was inferior to the sloop's, and what
the people want is TO see them both in blow.
Mr.. Bells criticisms of the New-Yo rk Yacht
Clubs course arc. we think, with all due
Difference to his judgment, unsound. 1t is
not bad course; 1t is perfectly fair to both
contestants, and for the purpose Of these
races for the supremacy, it furnishes one of
tho essential tests. Tho outside courses arc
calculated TO show what the yachts can do ON

the open sea, but before one can say which
vessel Is clearly the better 1t Is necessary 70
institute comparison Of their merits In more
confined and stiller water. No race better
affords this test than that over the inside
course. The yachts always have plenty Oh
room, and sail under entirely equable condi-
tons. If there are advantages OF tide anu
wind growing out of tho lay OF tho land
they are as available for one skipper as tha
other. The ability to detect such advantages
Is a part of his science. Mr.. Bells remark
that had he known about this course the Thistle
would never have been built, seems odd In
view of the fact that 1t Is specifically men
toned in the Deed Of Gift and has been sailed
over by his skipper, Captain Barr time ana

Mr.. FAIRCHTLDS LAW ADVISERS

Secretary Fairchild has a gift for doing funny
things. In applying to New-York bankers foi
legal advice, he has surpassed himself. he
professed to be much In doubt whether he had
authority under the law to purchase bonds in
excess of the amount required for the sinking
fund. Presumably he was right In not going
to Attorney General Garland for legal opln-
ion the average Newly ork banker is doubtless
as competent lawyer as the present Attorney
General, and, Notwithstanding his obvious per-
sonal interests, would be at least as likely 70
give a candid opinion as the law officer VINO
accepted telephone stock in payment for the
use Of his name and influence. STILL the New
York bankers do not, as a rule, put themselves
forward as legal advisers Of the Government.
Secretary Fairchild obtained the legal opinion
he wanted, as matter Of course. lie was
hunting for authority to purchase bonds, In
order to avoid accumulation Of the surplus
revenue. He judiciously went to bankers VINO
are particularly anxious to have the Treasury
disburse money as fast as possible. II somc
of them have run into shoal water through
helping too many grain speculations, or railroad
speculations, or land speculations, that makes
no difference; they feel the need OF money,
however they came to need it. With other
bankers the question was simply one Of finan-
cial convenience to their customers. Enter
pnses in which those customers have engaged
need more funds; therefore bankers would be
glad to have the Treasury furnish moro.
But the one question which is really in doubt
does not seem to have been raised by the
Secretary at all. The power of the Secretary
is discretionary, provided it be used for tho
benefit of the Treasury, and not to cxtricate
individuals from the consequences Of their
own Mistakes or to help party over an cleo
ton. The question which the Secretary ought
to consider is not one of law. in this instance,
but it is whether further purchases of bonds
will benefit the Treasury or the people as a
whole; whether they will aid legitimate in
dustry and trade. or only promote hurtful
speculation. To all appearances, Mr.. Fairchild
assumes, just as any Wall Street Spectator
may, that encouragement of speculation is
helping the business and industry of this great
Nation. But out in the country there are
millions of voters who do not think the Treas
ury ought to be managed for the convenience
of spectators here, or at Chicago, or at New
Orleans, or anywhere else To those voters,
the spectacle of a Secretary asking legal opin-
ion from Wall Street bankers will have a
peculiar interest,

A temporary stay of proceedings was granted
In the Sharp case yesterday. The prisoner
has thus obtained respite and probably few
months longer residence in Ludlow Street Jail.
There can be no object but delay in these
unusual proceedings, and most people have
probably come to the conclusion that there has
been quite enough delay in this matter already.
The physicians sent to examine Sharp yesterday
reported that he could safely be transferred
to Sing Sing. There is no reason why special
clemency should be shown him, and so far as
his illness is concerned he would be sure of
adequate care in tho prison hospital. There
Is. of course, possibility that the temporary
stay, which extends only until next Thursday
may not be made permanent.
Labor agitators viii find it well
worth their while to peruse with
care the decision on the Conspiracy
law handed down yesterday by Justice
Barrett. Five Knights of Labor holding OIL
cial positions were arrested for conspiracy in
causing q strike because one firm refused TO
discharge workman who declined to join their
order, and in compelling another firm by threats
Of strike to discharge their foreman and two
other employees, The judge holds, and makes
the point exceedingly clear. that the conspiracy
was criminal because no question of advancing
or Of keeping up the rate Of wages was involved
A peaceable strike to secure either of these
objects is all right. but violence or deliberate
attempt to impoverish an outside workman is
oil wrong. This is the law as Judge Barrett
lays it down and it will strike most people as
good law.
A clear and impartial statement of the posi-
tionof the two parties in the Grand Army of the
Rcpublic-those who favor the dependent PEN
sion policy and those who advocate general
service pension-will DO found in our st. Louis
